During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 121 Brainwashed Music and Artist’s Ambition

At the end of October, "The Temptation of Going Home" was broadcast on Mango Channel and Magic City Channel. Thanks to the brand name of Weijin Fengliu Film and Television Company in the industry and the reputation of the audience, the first broadcast ratings were very bright.

The ratings for the first broadcast on Mango Channel directly exceeded 5, and the ratings on the first broadcast on Magic City Channel also reached 3.8. You must know that the first two episodes did not even develop the plot.

At the same time, the news that the two companies had joined forces to win the first broadcast rights for 160 million per episode was also announced, which caused a sensation in the entire film and television industry.

This has set a new record for national television dramas. You must know that the current price of domestic TV dramas is generally only 50 yuan per episode, and blockbuster dramas like "Bright Sword" only cost 65 yuan. The previous highest record was "Latent", which only cost 80 yuan. , doubled this time, which shocked the jaws of major TV stations and companies in the industry.

Wei Jin also felt lucky when the crew saw this news. Fortunately, Mango Channel did not announce the previous gambling agreement for "Star You". You know, that drama was calculated as a single episode, but it was as high as 260 million. Ji, don't let these companies in the industry be jealous to death.

However, subsequent developments have forced these companies to lament the power of Wei and Jin.

As the plot unfolds, the ratings of "The Temptation of Going Home" continue to rise. The ratings of Mango Channel Golden Eagle Private Theater in the same period have successively exceeded 6 and 7, firmly holding the first place in the same period, far ahead, and the local ratings share is as high as 23%. .

Even Modu TV, which is not ranked among the top five in the country's ratings, turned around thanks to this drama this time. During the same period, its ratings exceeded 5 and ranked among the top three in the country, second only to CCTV. The local ratings share reached 28%. , I have to admit that the people of Shanghai still like this kind of bloody family ethics drama.

Now, no matter how dull people are, they have to admit that Weijin Fengliu Film and Television Company has the ability to continuously output hit TV series, and no one dares to underestimate its achievements and prestige in the field of TV series.

So much so that TV stations have already come to compete for the newly completed post-production of "Beauty's Scheming" and the newly completed "Zhu Xian".

It was mid-November, and the temperature in Mongolia was already very low. Many crew members who had never been here said they couldn't stand it.

Fortunately, the crew was well prepared and had many military coats, cold-proof clothing, and jackets.

Since the Golden Eagle Festival, Wei Jin has continued to promote the filming of the fight scenes. Thanks to the help of previous training camps, everyone is familiar with their own routines and moves. What needs to be adjusted is the facial expressions and eye scenes during the filming process. , the overall shooting progress is relatively smooth, and the shooting task at the Huairou Film and Television Base has been completed.

This time I came to Mongolia to shoot the exterior scenes, which is the final showdown scene and the last scene of the entire movie.

At the Hongshan Military Horse Farm, a scene had just ended.

"Mr. Wei, drink some hot water. It's really cold here."

Bai Bin fulfilled his role as an assistant and thoughtfully provided a thermos cup.

"Xiao Bai, are you still used to following me? The environment here is too bad, and it's a bit unfriendly to girls."

Wei Jin couldn't bear to look at the red-faced assistant. A delicate girl, her face was almost chapped after being exposed to the wind for several days.

"It's okay, I can adapt, Mr. Wei."

Although Bai Bin was not used to the weather here, the psychological enjoyment of looking at the endless grassland allowed her to overcome her physical discomfort.

Wei Jin nodded, said no more, and then picked up the loudspeaker:
  "Each department prepares, checks props and horses, and must pay attention to safety."

For a moment, all the relevant crew members started to move. Soon, everyone signaled that they were ready, and Wei Jin issued the command: "action"

A new shooting mission has begun again
  "The pain of all the persistence of love, the pain of all the persistence of hate. I can no longer tell whether love and hate are like this..."

Listening to the ringtones of passers-by's mobile phones outside the private room, everyone in the private room laughed.

Today is a gathering of several artists from Weijin Fengliu Film and Television Company. They got along well with each other after joining the company. The main reason is that the company has sufficient resources and there is no particularly fierce competition.

Everyone is usually busy with their respective crews, and it is a rare opportunity to be in the capital. Yang Xue, the eldest, suggested that everyone get together and communicate with each other.

"Sister Rong, this drama of yours is really popular! You've been on "Basic Camp" twice, right?"

Zhang Li is a little envious. You must know that Mango Channel's ace variety show is very realistic, and whoever is popular will be on it.

When "The Temptation of Going Home" was promoted, Yang Rong had already participated once. Later, after the TV series was broadcast, the ratings were extremely high, and there were many discussions online, so she was invited to participate again.

She obviously joined the company with Yang Rong, but in the blink of an eye she became the second female lead in a hit drama. Who can I ask to explain this?

"The main reason is that Mr. Wei wrote the script well. I don't know how he came up with such a bloody plot."

Facing colleagues in the company, Yang Rong is relatively modest, and she also knows that she has taken a big advantage.

Since the TV series was broadcast, the peak ratings of Mango Channel have exceeded 8, and the ratings of Modu Channel have also exceeded 7. Yang Rong estimates that when the follow-up revenge plot unfolds, the ratings may even exceed 10. She really thinks Wei Jin is great.

"I think this song is really good. It's so magical and brainwashing." Yang Xue can still maintain a normal mind, mainly because Wei Jin gave her confidence. The company's previous productions were all hit dramas, such as "Beauty" "Scheming" has not been released yet. It is estimated that it will become popular after it is aired, so she is not in a hurry.

"That's right, Mr. Wei's songs are no worse than his scripts. This song is sung by an artist newly signed by the company. It seems his name is Yao Beina. It is said that he graduated from the Central Academy of Music. I really envy her luck. This is the song. You have to make a lot of money from singing, right?”

Jiang Shuying was actually envious of Yao Beina who got this song.

With so many self-produced dramas in the company, it is natural that singers are needed to sing the OST. Wei Jin had always been interested in Zhang Liangying before. However, although she terminated her contract with Mango Channel, she formed her own company with her agent and did not accept Wei Jin's solicitation.

After much thought, Wei Jin thought of this powerful singer, who happened to have a close relationship with Liu Yifei. After some contact with her through the latter, she joined the company.

"Whatever you do when you envy others, they don't belong to the same circle. Chen Xiao, why don't you say anything? Are you afraid that your sisters will eat you?"

Yang Xue decisively stopped the topic of Jiang Shuying. How much money they made should not be their concern, and instead teased Chen Xiao who was eating quietly.

"Sister Xue, I just want to listen to your conversation, I don't really understand either."

Chen Xiao's agency contract was signed together with the film contract for "Zhu Xian", so Zhang Xu would naturally not let this Chinese drama star go.

Hearing Yang Xue's teasing, Chen Xiao blushed a little. As the company's youngest contracted artist, his status was too low.

"Why is my little brother still blushing? Is he moved by seeing his sister?"

I don’t know if it’s because she has played too many villains, but Yang Xue especially likes to tease newcomers now, as if she can get great satisfaction.

Seeing Chen Xiao hesitating and turning red, Yang Rong smiled and helped him out:
  "Okay, don't bully him. Your show "Beauty's Scheming" was picked up by CCTV. When will it be broadcast?"

"Beauty's Scheming" was finally won by CCTV after competition from many TV stations, not because of the highest price.

In fact, CCTV’s offer was only 100 million per episode, which already set a record for CCTV’s purchase of dramas.

The company plans to use this drama to further close its relationship with CCTV, and the private company's self-produced drama can be broadcast on CCTV, which is also a manifestation of its strength. What's more, at the price of 100 million episodes, the company has already made a profit, and the subsequent profits No less.

"Oh, it's mine. I'm just a villain, not a female lead. But I heard that CCTV plans to broadcast it early next year."

Yang Xue seems to be modest, but in fact she has a Versailles show. You must know that not all dramas can be regarded as the opening drama of the new year by CCTV.

"It doesn't matter if the villain is not a villain, as long as the character is outstanding, you haven't seen how popular Sister Rong has become."

Seeing that Yang Xue, Yang Rong, and even Chen Xiao all have important roles, maybe they will become famous in two months, and she is still playing soy sauce, Jiang Shuying said this with a bit of sourness , I also had some other ideas in my mind.

"Yes, I really envy Sister Rong and Sister Xue. The TV series are both major roles in big productions, and the movie is also a co-production between the company and Hong Kong. I don't know when I will have the opportunity."

Zhang Li also spoke quickly, with an envious look on her face. When she first joined the company, she thought it would be nice to be able to show her face, but within half a year, her mind had changed.

But this is normal. Seeing that colleagues around you are starting to become famous, anyone will be anxious, otherwise there would not be so many plastic sisters in the entertainment industry. As the saying goes, they are afraid of the hardship of their best friends, and they are also afraid of their best friends driving Land Rover.

"By the way, Chen Xiao, did "Zhu Xian" say when it will be released?"

Sensing everyone's envy of him, Yang Rong didn't want to talk more and changed the topic.

"Sister Rong, it's still in the late stages of production. I don't know the details, but it seems to be linked with the game. I guess it will take a while. I don't know if it will be popular."

The TV series hasn't aired yet. As a newbie, Chen Xiao answered honestly but also felt a little nervous. After all, it was his first TV series starring.

"It will definitely become popular. This is a project that Mr. Wei is focusing on, and with Liu Yifei and Jing Tian joining the team, it will definitely become a hit again. Just wait and become as popular as Zhenyu."

Yang Xue vaguely noticed that her boss's attitude towards Jing Tian was a bit unusual. As long as there was a drama in which Jing Tian participated, Wei Jin would probably be very confident.

Yang Rong on the side also nodded repeatedly to express his approval, which made Chen Xiao a little embarrassed:
  "Then thank you sisters for your good words. If it gets really popular, I'll treat everyone to dinner."

"That's settled."

Seeing the lively conversation between the three of them, Zhang Li and Jiang Shuying felt like they were just minions and regretted coming to the party. However, this situation also planted a seed in their hearts.

This seed is called ambition
